Important Introduction - Please read before taking the course.

These two lessons are an extract from my larger course on the book Sha’arei Kedusha, by Rabbi Hayim Vital.

Based upon Rabbi Vital's now uncensored Part 4 of his Sha'arei Kedusha; this section of the text quotes the Avraham Abulafia system verbatim, and teaches the REAL and ACTUAL usage of the 72 triads.

They are not really actual “names” of God or names of anything else. Rather than are sound combinations that claim to open psychic vortexes within the mind, enabling to prepared user to experience deeper realms of consciousness and revelation.

The system claims that there are many pitfalls, and dangers along this path, but for the serious, disciplined, and devoted seeker, the path is clearly defined, and marked out.

The curious will also benefit from these lessons in that this course clears up much confusion and outright wrong information disseminated by Kabbalah cults on this topic.

Please consult the following classes available in our KosherTorah Online Store

The 72 Triad Name of God, Lesson 1

Class 1 – The 72 Triad Name of God, lesson 1, from Pardes Rimmonim of Rabbi Moshe Cordevero. The origins of the 72 triad name. The Zoharic explanation of its boustrophedon structure. The sefirotic relationships. Two different sets of vowels. Relationship of the pasukim, triads and letters. The meaning of the number 72. An overall explanation of how the name is understood in the theoretical school of Kabbalah, to distinguish this understanding from our following lessons showing the magical/prophetic properties of the name in Raziel, Abulafia, Vital and Zacuto.

The 72 Triad Name of God, Lesson 2
Class 2 – The 72 triad Name of God, lesson 2, from the writings of R. Eliezer of Worms. Sefer HaShem, the book of the Name, and a special formula for using the Names in a ritual for healing. Sefer Raziel HaMalakh, the three orders of the Names and how in groups of 7 they are used for individual purposes, included are the Names, the invocations, and hints as to the proper hours and days when each is to be used. This lesson clearly shows the contrast between the theoretical school and the magical school.

The 72 Triad Name of God, Lesson 3
Class 3 – The 72 triad Name, lesson 3 from the writings of Abraham Abulafia and Hayim Vital. An overview and comparison from Rabbi Vital's Shaarei Kedusha and original insights from Rabbi Abulafia's works, Hayei Olam HaBa and Sefer Heshek. An overall usage of the 72 Name as a meditative tool, with the two Rabbis describing two differing forms for its usage. This class is an excellent review of the Abulafia techniques, which include active imagination and cultivating inner dialogue with one's higher self and spiritual guide.

The 72 Triad Name of God, Lesson 4
Class 4 – The 72 triad Name, lesson 4 from the book Shoreshei HaShemot of Rabbi Moshe Zacuto. Rabbi Zacuto was a secularly trained cosmopolitan Rabbi in the 17th century, living mostly in Amsterdam and Venice. Yet, as a Kabbalist, he authored this text which is unique as it serves as an encyclopedia for all holy names known at the time. In review of the 72 Name, Rabbi Zacuto references traditional material from Cordevero (covered in class 1), and some material from Vital (covered in class 3). The Rabbi then strikes out and adds outright magical material from sources not named. He includes various usages for each name, with angelic associations. He then proceeds to outline other forms of combining the three verses that construct the name and gives magical formulas for their usage. We conclude with looking at yet another name of 72 made up from three different verses from the first chapter of Ezekiel.
